I’m often asked what kind of interior I would place my paintings in. At Savarts Studio I felt that it was in such an interior that I would really present some of my paintings. It was a unique opportunity to feel what it’s like not in a gallery, not in an exhibition hall or a salon, but at home. This is a new and interesting experience.

I presented some of my paintings that I created in Kyiv before I moved to Vienna. The name of my series of paintings is Dialogue, Inner Dialogue. At the time I created the paintings, it was a dialogue with my soul, with my heart.

But I want to emphasise that when you look at the paintings, or the artwork that you like the most, you create your own inner dialogue with this composition. And I recommend you to listen to your inner voice at that moment. Feel what art will tell you, how it will respond inside.

Arthentico unterstützt vor allem ukrainische Kunstschaffende, um ihnen trotz der Umstände des Krieges, das Ausstellen ihrer Bilder ermöglicht. Die erste Solo-Ausstellung “Innerer Dialog” von Alina Babenko war ein voller Erfolg.

WIEN/INNERE STADT. Mehr als Kunst: Die Galerie Arthentico hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, ukrainische Kunstschaffende zu fördern und in Österreich zu etablieren. Dafür veranstaltet Geschäftsführer Maciej Pajak und seine Co-Founderin Iris Kienzl immer wieder Events und Ausstellungen. Die erste Solo-Ausstellung fand im 1. Bezirk, in der Galerie Frank Wien, in der Himmelpfortgasse, statt und war ein voller Erfolg.

Rund hundert Gäste kamen, um Babenkos Kunst zu sehen. Zu den Gästen zählten unter anderem Elisabeth Himmer-Hirnigel, Bezirksrätin Polina Vekova (ÖVP) sowie Vertreter der Ukrainischen, Schweizerischen sowie Polnischen Botschaft. Der erste Sekretär der Ukrainischen Botschaft bedankte sich in einer Rede bei der Galerie im Namen der Ukraine für die Unterstützung der ukrainischen Kultur.

Politische Lage spiegelt sich in Kunst wider

Begleitet wurde die Enthüllung der Gemälde von der Geigerin Dominika Witowicz, die als Höhepunkt des Abends “Rise Like a Phoenix” von Conchita Wurst auf der Geige spielte und damit die Geschichte von Alinas “Phoenix”-Gemälde ergänzte, in dem die Künstlerin die Hoffnung auf die Wiederauferstehung der Ukraine sieht.

Die meisten der 20 Gemälde stammten aus Kiew, wo Babenko zuvor lebte. Diese wurden durch hier vor Ort gemalte Gemälde der Künstlerin ergänzt. Spannend zu beobachten ist dabei die Wandlung des Stils der Künstlerin, welcher sich durch die destabilisierte Lage in ihrer Heimatstadt, in einen abstrakteren wandelte, wenn man neue mit älteren Gemälden vergleicht.

On October 25, 2022, a personal exhibition of paintings “Internal Dialogue” by Alina Babenko was opened in Vienna, Austria. Together with the Arthentico gallery, we managed to organize an exhibition of 20 paintings. Most of the paintings were transported from Kyiv, and some of them were painted in Vienna. Arthentico Gallery has been supporting and helping Ukrainian artists since the beginning of the war in Ukraine. The event took place in the heart of Vienna, in a historic building of the 14th century. It is said that in his time Mozart often visited and even lived for a certain period in this house, visiting his beloved. Art combined with history aroused great interest among the guests. The opening was attended by about 100 guests, including representatives of the embassies of Ukraine, Switzerland, Poland and Israel. Entrepreneurs, investors and politicians of Austria. The exhibition lasted until October 30, 2022. During the entire period of the exhibition, the artist conducted a short excursion and acquainted the guests with the history of each painting. Choosing his favorite composition, each guest started his own dialogue with his favorite.

“Inner Dialog” by Alina Babenko

First solo-exhibition held by Arthentico Painting is about showing how my heart feels. It is a very sensitive approach for me to find my innermost self. It allows me to lead an inner dialog with myself and my deepest sentiments, which is then mirrored in all my artworks. Each of my paintings begins with a blank canvas and evolves solely through the process of my journey. I utilize brushes and painting knives to help me bring this voyage to life on canvas. The prominence of brilliant colours is an important characteristic of my work that has developed through time, as they are like rays of light guiding me to make the right decisions in life and to go towards my life’s mission. As a result, each completed work has a distinct origin story, which is embodied in following works of mine.

Charity event in support of Ukrainian women and their children in Vienna: 22.09.22

On 22 September, a charity event was held in Vienna to support Ukrainian mothers and their children.
Over 70% of refugees from Ukraine are women, many of whom have children. Therefore, efforts were made to help these women.
A Ukrainian woman with her child who fled the war. Who is she? What is she like? What kind of help does she need? What can she do? And how can you help her now? These were the questions discussed at the charity event.
Tetiana Pytailo, founder of the Ptashka Art Project for young talented Ukrainian artists. The logo depicts a bird in the colours of the Ukrainian flag, and if you look at it from a different angle, you can see a heart. This is a symbol of the fact that Ukraine is forever in the hearts of refugees, no matter how far they are from their homes. Ukraine needs help the most right now. The charity event featured the artworks of two Ukrainian artists: Alina Babenko and Vlada Korotiuk.

We are grateful to Markhof for their help and organisation of the space for the evening. We would like to thank GRND, Die Bröslerei, St Barbara’s Church and everyone else who supported us so enthusiastically.

We thank everyone for coming to the evening and supporting us not only with words but also with deeds.

Each of my paintings begins with a blank canvas and evolves through the process of my journey alone. I use brushes and painting knives to bring this journey to life on the canvas. The emphasis on bright colours is an important feature of my work that has evolved over time, as they are like rays of light that guide me to make the right choices in life and to fulfil my life’s mission.
